The Early Church

the idea of church and what it is is blowing my mind! There just seems to be so many conflicting views out there about what church is supposed to look like, supposed to be for, supposed to achieve. So I have gone back to the bible, in particular, back to Acts. Not that it is helping that much at the moment though! THere just seems to be so little information there.
But what I have learnt so far:
1. The members of the Early Church were filled with the spirit
2. They were 'devoted' to one another and to learning more about God
3. They shared everything
4. They met everyday in the temple courts
5. They ate together in each others homes
6. They praised God
7. They enjoyed the favour of all the people (not sure what this one means!)
8. Their numbers grew daily
9. The apostle's performed signs and wonders

well that will do for now- something to chew on!
